My child is ruining my fitness life.

First, my weight training gloves went missing. Then two of my speed ropes disappeared. These items were last seen in the possession of my gremlin-child. And now? My foam roller has been turned into a Crayola shrine.

Just in case you’re wondering, those legs with the ashy knees — the ones wearing the disco dress — she is the culprit. So ya, my child is ruining my life… sorta?

But ohhhh, look at that cute little face. She’s so proud of her “art project”. I will rage no fitness-fury against the gremlin. But I will wise up and start hiding my stuff, especially since I caught her in my jewelry box this morning. As for my foam roller, that thing was previously shanked to death with a pencil before being turned into a shrine.

The violence against my fitness gear is too much for me to stand. ((sigh))

Aaaaww…maybe you can hide your gear in a secret closet and well,…..put a lock on it? I don’t know….we have to hide things from my ‘special’ brother all the time, t.v. remotes, videos, books,…. Hang in there kiddo…. It’ll be okay….

It’s the story of a mother’s life — you can’t get nice things while the children are little, they ruin them. Then, when you think you are safe and they are out of the house, they drop grandchildren on you. We can’t win! We just have to lock everything up — i suggest a safe with a key and combination, both.mimi recently posted..A to Z: J is for Johnny-on-the-spot.

Other side of the equation…I would work out around my two monsters at home, when I wasn’t at the gym, or put them in the gym childcare when they were with me. Yes, I’m the dad and had a whole different set of circumstances. But they totally watch what you do. So Daughter # 1 called me yesterday all out of breath, because she just finished a workout in her shoebox sized apartment. Daughter # 2 is one 18 year old muscle top to bottom.
